According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal have already started negotiations with representatives of Matias Fernandez-Pardo regarding a possible transfer to London. The Gunners view the 21-strong Belgian as one of the options for strengthening the attack.

At the same time, Arsenal is not the only contender for a striker. Newcastle also has concerns with the Belgians and will continue to monitor the situation. Fernandez-Pardo himself will not deprive Lille of this summer, but the price will be a big deal. Lille estimates their player to be around? 60 million, and such financial opportunities are still in place to facilitate negotiations with potential purchasers.

Earlier there was information that Julian Alvarez had held further negotiations with Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and confirmed that there were no problems with the transfer to Arsenal.
